amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
Ink: Lemonade
Try we lifelong, we can never straighten out life's tangled skein;
Why should we, in vain endeavour, guess and guess and guess again?
Life's a pudding full of plumns; care's a canker that benumbs.
Wherefore waste our elocution
On impossible solution?
Life's a pleasant institution;
Let us take it as it comes!
Set aside the dull enigma, we shall guess it far too soon;
Failure brings no kind of stigma; dance we to another tune.
String the lyre and fill the cup, lest on sorrow we should sup.
Hop and skip to Fancy's fiddle,
Hands across and down the middle.
Life's perhaps the only riddle
That we shrink from giving up.
Then take it as it comes.
- W.S.G. (Gondoliers)

celine (Robert Fullmer):
"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and

murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by
their ignorance the hard way."
-- Kurt Vonnegut, "Cat's Cradle"

Adam: "Well, OK."
